  • Predictions on the state of work in the year 2000

    Jump

  • I would encourage almost any American to get a remote job (or three) and move abroad to a country that has a visa for remote workers and good healthcare. It might be the only way some workers will be able to save and retire some day.

  • Streaming Pirates Are Hollywood’s New Villains - Illegal subscription services that steal films or TV shows bring in $2 billion a year in ads and subscriber fees.

    Jump

  • How do younpay for these services? I'd imagine you might not want to use your credit cards.

  • Netflix enshittification will continue until morale improves

    Jump

  • If you use a VPN, change your country and see if that affects the content you're offered. I'm in Manchester according to my VPN, and Netflix is offering me tons of British sitcoms and dramas, shows not available in my home country.

  • Jeffrey Epstein: Prince Andrew named in newly released court files

    Jump

  • And yet Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are treated like pariahs by the royal family. It's interesting how that works.

  • Why'd they stopped making tv shows as good as x-files?

    Jump

  • OP, have you watched:

    • Doctor Who
    • Black Mirror

  • What is the goofiest Christmas present you received this year?

    Jump

  • A Battery Daddy, which stores batteries in a clear case and has its own battery tester inside. It'll probably end up being less goofy and more useful.

  • Florida man goes fishing in Bass Pro Shops pond, flees with live 50-pound tarpon

    Jump

  • Florida.

  • Wayfair CEO sends a harsh wake-up call to employees

    Jump

  • I guarantee he had ChatGPT write this.

  • What's a word you've spent a long time not using right?

    Jump

  • Does the character mean to cry "Attica"? Like people who yelled it in the 70s, referencing the prison revolt?

  • They could be anywhere

    Jump

  • One of my High School teachers told me that when someone asked him for directions and he didn't know the way he'd just make something up because it made the person so happy and he liked how they smiled at him, all trusting.

    What does it say that he was a teacher. Also: What does it say about me that he was my favorite teacher?

  • What common grocery item(s) is it absolutely fine to buy the cheap/unbranded version of?

    Jump

  • Trader Joe's smoked sardines in olive oil is delicious.

  • Lemmy's active users are up again for the first time since the exodus

    Jump

  • Thank you!

  • YouTube is deliberately crippling Firefox on ARM systems

    Jump

  • Do you have a link for Stealth? Libreddit was working for me up until two days ago.

  • How many of you actually use the headphone jack on your phone?

    Jump

  • Sorry to derail but what do people think of air gap or air tube wired headphones? Do you think they are necessary?

  • The fashion industry is still pushing crazy thin body images

    Jump

  • The fashion business seems to thrive on either body positivity or body negativity, but not body neutrality. If you feel neutral.about you body, I guess that doesn't prompt you to spend a ton of money on products to celebrate or disguise it.

  • My children will refer to me as father.

    Jump

  • My kids call me bruh and I'm their mom, so, eh.

  • People Who Don't Wear Deodorant or Seemingly Bathe Regularly, Why?

    Jump

  • My advice is to use a body wash or soap with salycitic acid. It's in products for preventing or treating acne - the salycitic acid kills the bacteria that causes body odor. You can also apply a toner with salycitic acid directly to your armpits (Stridex pads work well for this - they even make ones that are larger for use on the body). I do this and have zero B.O. Some people use other antibacterial soaps like Hibiclens or Paroxyl.

    Also make sure that you are wearing clean clothes (wearing the same tshirt a couple of days in a row is taking a chance).

    ETA: This won't help reduce sweating but it will help with the bacteria that feeds on the sweat.

  • Indian Food is praised worldwide and celebrated in countries like the UK and Germany. Americans, why do all your comedy shows rag on Indian food?

    Jump

  • I'm American and I can't think of a comedy show that makes fun of Indian food. Can you name one of them so I can check it out?

    I'd say most medium to large sized cities in the US have Indian restaurants, so it's not so unusual.

  • Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Accused of Gang-Rape of 17-Year-Old Girl

    Jump

  • Rumor is it will be titled "Surviving Diddy. "
